The Rolling Stones

On November 30, 2002, The Rolling Stones performed at Twickenham Stadium, delivering a powerful rendition of "Gimme Shelter." This performance occurred during their "Licks Tour," which celebrated their 40th anniversary as a band. Prior to this live recording, the group released their studio album "Forty Licks" in 2002, a greatest hits compilation that featured re-recordings of classic tracks alongside new material. Interestingly, "Gimme Shelter," originally released in 1969 on the album "Let It Bleed," has become one of the band's signature songs, often associated with social unrest and tumultuous times. This live version underscores the enduring relevance of the song's themes, showcasing the band's ability to connect with audiences across generations. The 2002 concert was part of a robust tour that further solidified The Rolling Stones' reputation as quintessential rock icons.
